I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Xiaoju was stunned by this sudden happiness. She sipped her saliva and said, "Sister, this is really for me to eat!"

"Yes, let's eat!" said Ji Xiaobei.

Xiaoju couldn't wait to take a big bite and said as she ate, "Sister, this sausage is so delicious. It smells so good!"

A skinny little girl was eating sausages crazily, praising them as she ate, with oil dripping from the corners of her mouth. This interactive, immersive and strong sense of involvement attracted several old women to stop and watch.

"Girl, is it really that delicious?" an old woman asked after taking a sip of water.

"Auntie, it's really delicious. This is our Ji family's ancestral craft. If you don't believe me, try it!" Ji Xiaobei picked off a piece of sausage and handed it to the old woman.

"Mrs. Zhang, please give everyone a taste!" said a young daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a moment and then took the sausage.

"Well, it's really delicious, with plenty of ingredients and meat. Is this the old soup from Diao?" Mrs. Zhang asked, smacking her lips.

"Yes, this soup is very old. It was passed down from my great-great-grandfather!" Ji Xiaobei's smile never stopped. "Aunt, I can tell you have experience. I can tell you used the old soup just by tasting it."

Mrs. Zhang nodded in agreement and said, "I'll take two pounds!"

Ji Xiaobei was dumbfounded because he didn't have a scale.

Mrs. Zhang went to borrow a scale from a peddler and weighed herself two kilograms.

"Look carefully, two kilograms, no more, no less. I, Mrs. Zhang, will not bully my young wife." She pointed at the scale and showed it to Ji Xiaobei.

Ji Xiaobei didn't recognize that kind of scale, but he pretended to know and nodded with a smile, saying, "Okay, that's right, that's right."

"How much is it?" asked Mrs. Zhang.

"Auntie, 20 cents per pound!" said Ji Xiaobei.

If Mrs. Zhang bargained, she had already thought of an excuse in her mind.

"That's it!" She took out 40 cents from her pocket and gave them to Ji Xiaobei.

Ji Xiaobei didn't have the chance to continue and gave Mrs. Zhang a big smile.

After Mrs. Zhang bought some, two more women came and bought some, and the sausages were sold out.

Since some people didn't buy anything, she persuaded them to buy steamed buns and scallion pancakes.

The total amount sold was 100 coins.

Xiaoju felt dizzy when she walked and followed her sister to the grocery store.

Ji Xiaobei bought two quilts and spent all his 100 coins in an instant.

Before the copper coin could even warm up, Xiaoju felt as if her feet were filled with lead and she followed her elder sister slowly.

Last night, she shared a quilt with her elder sister and she was so angry that she cried. Her elder sister grabbed the quilt and rolled over, taking it away.

She couldn't push or pull it, so she simply got out of bed before dawn.

It’s a good thing that my elder sister doesn’t have to fight with me for the quilt tonight.

Thinking of this, she became happy again. If her elder sister could let her build a new one, that would be icing on the cake.

Ji Xiaobei had long felt that Xiaoju was in a low mood, but she didn't care. She earned the money, so how she wanted to spend it was her business.

When I got home, Lin and his family had not returned from the fields yet.

Ji Xiaobei hung the quilt in the yard, then went into the kitchen to help Xiaoju prepare lunch.

Add water, some black noodles and wild vegetables to the black flour paste left over from the morning and you have a meal.

Ji Xiaobei entered the house and closed the door. He pulled a chicken leg out of the refrigerator and suddenly discovered that there were two more boxes of yogurt, which were his favorite.

Mom! Only mom knows that I like this yogurt.

She happily took out the yogurt, held it and kissed it for a long time, carefully unscrewed the lid, licked the lid skillfully, and drank it up in one gulp!

The familiar smell brought tears to her eyes.

I miss my mom!

My mother must be going crazy over there. How can I get the message to her? She is all alone and helpless now, and what she wants most is her mother's comfort.

Yes, write a note!

She works in a kindergarten, from nine to five.

My mother runs a Taekwondo gym and is often busy until midnight when she gets home, and she's already asleep.

The next day, her mother went to the museum before she woke up.

The refrigerator door is covered with little loving notes left by my mother.

She hurried to find paper and pen.

Xiaoju looked at her sister who couldn't read a single word, and looked suspicious. She shook her head and said, "No one in the family can read, where did we get paper and pen?"

……

Ji Xiaobei was anxiously pacing around the kitchen. Then she had an idea and pulled out a half-burned stick from the stove and stomped out the sparks.

He opened the refrigerator, found a piece of wax paper that was used to wrap scallion pancakes, and wrote a few crooked words on the back.

She put it in the refrigerator and began to wait anxiously.

When Lin and her two daughters came back, they were surprised to see the quilts drying in the yard.

The family hadn't bought new quilts for many years, but my eldest sister went to town and brought back two quilts.

Xiaohua happily crawled around under the quilt and had a lot of fun.

Before Lin could ask, Xiaoju described in vivid detail what she had seen and heard in the town.

Ji Xiaobei didn't want to listen to them, nor did he want to eat the black soup, so he just lay down on the kang.

I started dreaming in a daze.

……

Zheng Guo opened the door with red eyes. The room was eerily quiet and the curtains were not drawn. Her legs began to tremble again and she sat down weakly on the floor along the door.

She had just returned from the police station after taking a statement. The girl had been missing for two days. She had gone out to play and fell off a cliff. The search and rescue team had been looking for her for a day and a night but couldn't find her, so they had given up the search.

When Xiaobei was five years old, her scumbag father cheated on her and had a mistress outside. In a fit of anger, she divorced the man and moved out with Xiaobei.

She works as a boxing coach at the city's sports center. The job is easy and she can take care of her children, so she is very satisfied.

When Xiaobei grew up, she wanted to make more money, so she resigned from the sports center and opened her own boxing gym. After years of hard work, she achieved some success, but she didn't expect that her daughter would get into trouble.

She hugged her legs and cried for a while. Last night I bought the girl’s favorite yogurt.

She hadn't eaten for two days, so she got up and went to the kitchen.

She opened the refrigerator door and was immediately shocked...

The yogurt I bought yesterday is gone, and the roast chicken is missing a leg.

Looking again, there was a note under the roast chicken, which read: "Mom, I'm still alive, paper, pen!"

The spider's handwriting was obviously the girl's. She could recognize it with her eyes closed.

But where did this come from?

The underworld?

No, she would rather believe that the girl had traveled through time!

The time-travel novels she often read were written like this: you travel to another world, and then complete certain tasks to get certain rewards.

Generally, women who travel through time are very powerful. They beat up scumbags and slap their faces. It feels great.

She cried with joy. As long as her daughter was not dead, that was all that mattered!

She went to get a pen and paper, put them in the refrigerator, opened the door wide, and watched eagerly.
